In 2013, the Texas Legislature passed SB 1857, entitled "The Texas School Safety Training Act." This bill established a process by which license to carry (LTC) instructors can provide a state certified training program for school districts and school employees who wish to have employees with LTCs carry handguns on campus.
In 2017, DPS began offering an instructor certification course to a limited number of License To Carry instructors. In rural Texas counties, law enforcement response times can be as much as 30 minutes or longer. And that's for the first law enforcement officer to arrive on scene. For schools in remote parts of the state, the teachers, administrators and students are the first responders for their school. They will have to fend for themselves, providing their own security and first aid until help arrives.
It's also important to note that a teacher is not allowed to carry on campus even after completing this training. Each school district can decide what level of training, if any, it wishes to impose on employees it permits to carry guns on campus. A school district could allow any LTC holder to carry...or it could allow no LTC holder to carry on the premises of its schools. This course is simply a training course that school districts may utilize as a way to qualify and prepare school employees to carry on campus.
A school employee wishing to get this certification must do more than sit through two days of classes. For example, they must:
